I have built a custom integration that queries the API by formatted ID. In cases where there are duplicate IDs of different types (US181 & DE181), I'm often receiving only a single response back from the system, and that seems to be the wrong artifact. I'd like to search for Tasks, Stories, and Defects using formatted ID (either US181 or 181) and receive the appropriate result.
C# code below:
public static string FindArtifactByFormattedId(string formattedId)
{
string artifactRef = null;
Request req = new Request("Artifact");
req.Query = new Query("FormattedId", Query.Operator.Equals, formattedId.Remove(0,2));
req.Workspace = rallyWorkspace;
QueryResult queryResult = restApi.Query(req);
if (queryResult.TotalResultCount > 0)
{
foreach(DynamicJsonObject djo in queryResult.Results)
{
if (djo["FormattedID"] == formattedId)
{
artifactRef = djo["_ref"];
break;
}
}
}
return artifactRef;
}
This appears to be a defect in our WSAPI. I have filed this internally so that it can be prioritized, until then you can you can always query on each individual artifact to look for a specific artifact by FormattedID.

I made a request to get a specific single value property from all events in a calendar with the Graph-SDK. To achieve this i used a filter according to the Graph APIs documentation (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/v1.0/api/singlevaluelegacyextendedproperty_get). The filter i used was " id eq 'Boolean {00062002-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} Id 0x8223' ". Below is the code i used for this request.
public static async Task<Tuple<List<Event>, List<ICalendarEventsCollectionRequest>>> GetEventsSingleValuePropertyAsync(GraphServiceClient graphClient, String userId, String calendarId, String filterQuery, int top, String select)
{
List<ICalendarEventsCollectionRequest> requestList = new List<ICalendarEventsCollectionRequest>();
// filterQuery = "id eq 'Boolean {00062002-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} Id 0x8223'"
String filterSingleVP = "singleValueExtendedProperties($filter=" + filterQuery + ")";
List<Event> eventList = new List<Event>();
ICalendarEventsCollectionPage result = null;
ICalendarEventsCollectionRequest request = null;
if (calendarId == "")
request = graphClient.Users[userId].Calendar.Events.Request().Expand(filterSingleVP).Top(top).Select(select);
else
request = graphClient.Users[userId].Calendars[calendarId].Events.Request().Expand(filterSingleVP).Top(top).Select(select);
try
{
if (request != null)
{
result = await request.GetAsync();
requestList.Add(request);
eventList.AddRange(result);
}
if (result != null)
{
var nextPage = result;
while (nextPage.NextPageRequest != null)
{
var nextPageRequest = nextPage.NextPageRequest;
nextPage = await nextPageRequest.GetAsync();
if (nextPage != null)
{
requestList.Add(nextPageRequest);
eventList.AddRange(nextPage);
}
}
}
}
catch
{
throw;
}
return new Tuple<List<Event>, List<ICalendarEventsCollectionRequest>>(eventList, requestList);
}
I get all events and every event that matched the query gets expanded with the SingleValueLegacyExtendedProperty. The only thing that bothers me is that it looks like this:
"singleValueExtendedProperties":
[
{
"value":"true",
"id":"Boolean {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} Id 0x8223"
}
],
As you can see the value is present but the id now has an empty GUID.
I tested some other properties but i always had the same result.
I thought my filter compares the given "filterQuery" with the "id" in the answer.
Did i misunderstand something or is my request implementation just wrong?
That just looks like a bug on our side. Seems like the Guid prop might not be getting set or serialized correctly. I will bring it up to the team - thanks for the report.
-edit-
Yep, in fact we already have a fix for this that should be checked in in a few days.
-edit, edit-
Just for education's sake, the reason that it behaves this way is that the GUID that you are using is one of the "well known guids". In that case, our code is setting the well-known GUID field internally instead of the normal propertySetId guid field and REST always uses the propertySetId when rendering responses. The fix of course on our side is to use the well known guid field if the propertySetId is Guid.Empty.
-edit,edit,edit-
A fix was checked in for this and will begin normal rollout. It should reach WW saturation in a few weeks.
How does one get the results of a "Saved Search" of Type "Deleted Record" in NetSuite? Other search types are obvious(CustomerSearchAdvanced, ItemSearchAdvanced, etc...) but this one seems to have no reference online, just documentation around deleting records, not running saved searches on them.
Update 1
I should clarify a little bit more what I'm trying to do. In NetSuite you can run(and Save) Saved Search's on the record type "Deleted Record", I believe you are able to access at least 5 columns(excluding user defined ones) through this process from the web interface:
Date Deleted
Deleted By
Context
Record Type
Name
You are also able to setup search criteria as part of the "Saved Search". I would like to access a series of these "Saved Search's" already present in my system utilizing their already setup search criteria and retrieving data from all 5 of their displayed columns.
The Deleted Record record isn't supported in SuiteTalk as of version 2016_2 which means you can't run a Saved Search and pull down the results.
This is not uncommon when integrating with NetSuite. :(
What I've always done in these situations is create a RESTlet (NetSuite's wannabe RESTful API framework) SuiteScript that will run the search (or do whatever is possible with SuiteScript and not possible with SuiteTalk) and return the results.
From the documentation:
You can deploy server-side scripts that interact with NetSuite data
following RESTful principles. RESTlets extend the SuiteScript API to
allow custom integrations with NetSuite. Some benefits of using
RESTlets include the ability to:
Find opportunities to enhance usability and performance, by
implementing a RESTful integration that is more lightweight and
flexible than SOAP-based web services. Support stateless communication
between client and server. Control client and server implementation.
Use built-in authentication based on token or user credentials in the
HTTP header. Develop mobile clients on platforms such as iPhone and
Android. Integrate external Web-based applications such as Gmail or
Google Apps. Create backends for Suitelet-based user interfaces.
RESTlets offer ease of adoption for developers familiar with
SuiteScript and support more behaviors than NetSuite's SOAP-based web
services, which are limited to those defined as SuiteTalk operations.
RESTlets are also more secure than Suitelets, which are made available
to users without login. For a more detailed comparison, see RESTlets
vs. Other NetSuite Integration Options.
In your case this would be a near trivial script to create, it would gather the results and return JSON encoded (easiest) or whatever format you need.
You will likely spend more time getting the Token Based Authentication (TBA) working than you will writing the script.
[Update] Adding some code samples related to what I mentioned in the comments below:
Note that the SuiteTalk proxy object model is frustrating in that it
lacks inheritance that it could make such good use of. So you end with
code like your SafeTypeCastName(). Reflection is one of the best tools
in my toolbox when it comes to working with SuiteTalk proxies. For
example, all *RecordRef types have common fields/props so reflection
saves you type checking all over the place to work with the object you
suspect you have.
public static TType GetProperty<TType>(object record, string propertyID)
{
PropertyInfo pi = record.GetType().GetProperty(propertyID);
return (TType)pi.GetValue(record, null);
}
public static string GetInternalID(Record record)
{
return GetProperty<string>(record, "internalId");
}
public static string GetInternalID(BaseRef recordRef)
{
PropertyInfo pi = recordRef.GetType().GetProperty("internalId");
return (string)pi.GetValue(recordRef, null);
}
public static CustomFieldRef[] GetCustomFieldList(Record record)
{
return GetProperty<CustomFieldRef[]>(record, CustomFieldPropertyName);
}
Credit to #SteveK for both his revised and final answer. I think long term I'm going to have to implement what is suggested, short term I tried implementing his first solution("getDeleted") and I'd like to add some more detail on this in case anyone needs to use this method in the future:
//private NetSuiteService nsService = new DataCenterAwareNetSuiteService("login");
//private TokenPassport createTokenPassport() { ... }
private IEnumerable<DeletedRecord> DeletedRecordSearch()
{
List<DeletedRecord> results = new List<DeletedRecord>();
int totalPages = Int32.MaxValue;
int currentPage = 1;
while (currentPage <= totalPages)
{
//You may need to reauthenticate here
nsService.tokenPassport = createTokenPassport();
var queryResults = nsService.getDeleted(new GetDeletedFilter
{
//Add any filters here...
//Example
/*
deletedDate = new SearchDateField()
{
#operator = SearchDateFieldOperator.after,
operatorSpecified = true,
searchValue = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-49),
searchValueSpecified = true,
predefinedSearchValueSpecified = false,
searchValue2Specified = false
}
*/
}, currentPage);
currentPage++;
totalPages = queryResults.totalPages;
results.AddRange(queryResults.deletedRecordList);
}
return results;
}
private Tuple<string, string> SafeTypeCastName(
Dictionary<string, string> customList,
BaseRef input)
{
if (input.GetType() == typeof(RecordRef)) {
return new Tuple<string, string>(((RecordRef)input).name,
((RecordRef)input).type.ToString());
}
//Not sure why "Last Sales Activity Record" doesn't return a type...
else if (input.GetType() == typeof(CustomRecordRef)) {
return new Tuple<string, string>(((CustomRecordRef)input).name,
customList.ContainsKey(((CustomRecordRef)input).internalId) ?
customList[((CustomRecordRef)input).internalId] :
"Last Sales Activity Record"));
}
else {
return new Tuple<string, string>("", "");
}
}
public Dictionary<string, string> GetListCustomTypeName()
{
//You may need to reauthenticate here
nsService.tokenPassport = createTokenPassport();
return
nsService.search(new CustomListSearch())
.recordList.Select(a => (CustomList)a)
.ToDictionary(a => a.internalId, a => a.name);
}
//Main code starts here
var results = DeletedRecordSearch();
var customList = GetListCustomTypeName();
var demoResults = results.Select(a => new
{
DeletedDate = a.deletedDate,
Type = SafeTypeCastName(customList, a.record).Item2,
Name = SafeTypeCastName(customList, a.record).Item1
}).ToList();
I have to apply all the filters API side, and this only returns three columns:
Date Deleted
Record Type(Not formatted in the same way as the Web UI)
Name
I am creating a demonstration version of a C# program and I wish it to expire after a month.
// DEMO - Check date
DateTime expires = new DateTime(2016, 3, 16);
expires.AddMonths(2);
var diff = expires.Subtract(DateTime.Now);
if (diff.Days < 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("Demonstration expired.");
return;
}
I am wanting to have the date the compile instead of the hard coded new DateTime(2016, 3, 16);
Is there a compiler directive to give me the current date? Or am I aproaching this the wrong way?
But pre-processor directives are used during compile-time.
That expiration should be implemented using executable code. The issue here is you can hardcode it and hide it as much as possible, but it avid developers can find it and replace the intermediate language and generate a new assembly without the expiration. Actually, there're many other cases where an user can by-pass the whole expiration...
It seems like your best bet should be creating some kind of unique key, store it in your app and check if the whole key is still valid over the wire connecting to some licensing service developed by you.
An alternative solution to hard-coding a date that also offers some flexibility and extensibility could be to host a license file on a web server. For my sample, I used github. Create a well-known file for the application (possibly one for demo and a new one for beta1, etc.). At startup, and possibly periodically, read the file and parse it to determine applicability, timeouts, disable/enable features (like activating a custom warning message), etc.
Now you can ship your demo, put the expire date in the file, change it if needed, etc. This is not the most elegant nor secure solution, but for many use cases for a demo/beta, this might be enough to serve its intended purpose.
Below is a working mock-up of how this might look (omitted error checking and proper cleanup for brevity):
public class LicenseInfo
{
public string Info1 { get; private set; }
public bool IsValid
{
get
{
// todo, add logic here
return true;
}
}
public bool ParseLicense(string data)
{
bool ret = false;
if (data != null)
{
// todo, parse data and set status/attributes/etc
Info1 = data;
ret = true;
}
return ret;
}
}
// could make a static class...
public class License
{
public LicenseInfo GetLicenseInfo()
{
var license = new LicenseInfo();
// todo: create whatever schema you want.
// filename hard-coded per app/version/etc.
// file could contain text/json/etc.
// easy to manage, update, etc.
// extensible.
var uri = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/korygill/Demo-License/master/StackOverflow-Demo-License.txt";
var request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(uri);
var response = request.GetResponse();
var data = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
license.ParseLicense(data);
return license;
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// check if our license if valid
var license = new License();
var licenseInfo = license.GetLicenseInfo();
if (!licenseInfo.IsValid)
{
Console.WriteLine("Sorry...license expired.");
Environment.Exit(1);
}
Console.WriteLine("You have a valid license.");
Console.WriteLine($"{licenseInfo.Info1}");
}
}
I am trying to get a list of all users in our instance of Desire2Learn using a looping structure through the bookmarks however for some reason it continuously loops and doesn't return. When I debug it it is showing massive amounts of users (far more than we have in the system as shown by the User Management Tool. A portion of my code is here:
public async Task<List<UserData>> GetAllUsers(int pages = 0)
{
//List<UserData> users = new List<UserData>();
HashSet<UserData> users = new HashSet<UserData>();
int pageCount = 0;
bool getMorePages = true;
var response = await Get<PagedResultSet<UserData>>("/d2l/api/lp/1.4/users/");
var qParams = new Dictionary<string, string>();
do
{
qParams["bookmark"] = response.PagingInfo.Bookmark;
//users = users.Concat(response.Items).ToList<UserData>();
users.UnionWith(response.Items);
response = await Get<PagedResultSet<UserData>>("/d2l/api/lp/1.4/users/", qParams);
if (pages != 0)
{
pageCount++;
if (pageCount >= pages)
{
getMorePages = false;
}
}
}
while (response.PagingInfo.HasMoreItems && getMorePages);
return users.ToList();
}
I originally was using the List container that is commented out but just switched to the HashSet to see if I could notice if duplicates where being added.
It's fairly simple, but for whatever reason it's not working. The Get<PagedResultSet<UserData>>() method simply wraps the HTTP request logic. We set the bookmark each time and send it on.
The User Management Tool indicates there are 39,695 users in the system. After running for just a couple of minutes and breaking on the UnionWith in the loop I'm showing that my set has 211,800 users.
What am I missing?
It appears that you’ve encountered a defect in this API. The next course of action is for you to have your institution’s Approved Support Contact open an Incident through the Desire2Learn Helpdesk. Please make mention in the Incident report that Sarah-Beth Bianchi is aware of the issue, and I will work with our Support team to direct this issue appropriately.
I am developing a c# application, in which the server gets requests from many clients at a time. Each client also gets their data from different databases. In this situation sometimes data leakage is happening, means clients get data from an incorrect database. Say for example client1 should get data from db1 and client2 gets data from db2. Instead they get data from opposite databases; client1 gets from db2 and client2 gets from db1.
I am adding the code below where it collects the data.
public string List()
{
Response.ContentType = ContentType.Xml;
try
{
ThingzFilter filter = null;
Dictionary<string, string> parameters = new Dictionary<string, string>();
if (Id!="")
{
// get parameters from http request
foreach (HttpInputItem param in Request.Param)
parameters.Add(param.Name, param.Value);
setServerURLs();
//Request.Clear();
if (Request.QueryString["lang"].Value != null)
{
ThingzDB.TzThing.get_language = Request.QueryString["lang"].Value.ToString();
}
else
{
ThingzDB.TzThing.get_language = SessionDatabase.DefaultLanguage;
}
}
ThingzDatabase db = SessionDatabase;
langStr = db.Language;
// this is run if there was no ID supplied
// which means we want all items of all types
if (Id == "")
{
if (Request.AcceptTypes == null)
{
//TypeController.session_id = Request.QueryString["sessionid"].Value;
jobs.Add(Request.QueryString["sessionid"].Value);
if (nextJobPos > jobs.Count - 1)
return "";
else
{
TypeController.session_id = jobs[nextJobPos];
nextJobPos++;
langStr = SessionDatabase.Language;
}
filter = new AllThingzFilter(SessionDatabase, parameters, langStr);
TypeController.session_id = "";
filter.Execute();
}
In this server is console application and clients are windows where the site names , means the databse names are mentioned.
Please give me a solution to overcome this issue.
Without precisely knowing how SessionDatabase is scoped (from the name it seems to be a session variable) or whether it's implementation is a property that does some kind of complex logic, I would guess you have two problems:
Storing the value at the wrong scope with multiple clients accessing it
Using db and SessionDatabase interchangeably in your code.
For the latter, I would suggest db = SessionDatabase once at the top of the code (making sure that SessionDatabase was the right thing for that client, and then using db for the rest of the method.
